Sonya,
I think your flag looks great and you will see it in today’s journal (12/3/08)
Part of an expedition like this is about opening up yourself to try new things and to trust other people. I have met the crew and Master of the Oden and I completely trust them and the mighty ship to keep me safe. I am not afraid at all. I am also open to try new things and to make new friends. The food on the Oden is great and much of it is similar to American food. What is surprising is that at breakfast time the Swedes eat the kind of food you and I would expect for lunch. Ham and cheese sandwiches with cucumbers for breakfast are new to me!
Take care and keep the questions coming!
